Strictly observe the assembly 
instructions. In particular, observe 
the installation sequence and install 
protection rings, hoes and folding 
retainers completely as described. 
When installing the folding retainer, 
strictly observe the correct direction 
of insertion and positioning of the 
securing clip, as shown. In the case 
of incorrect or rotated installation, 
the folding retainer may come loose 
and be lost.
For good working results, the 
cutting edges of the hoes must 
point forwards (not towards the 
handlebar) – observe arrow 
markings.
